45 Min Run (Race) SANTA MONICA CHRISTMAS RUN

SANTA MONICA -- Did a double race day and wound up drilling the 10k, which came first. Was hoping to just crack 50 mins on an official chipped race and ended up with 45:25. That's 7:20 per mile and a 22:42 5k split/average. Not shabby.

This race has some incredible talent. Dude who won broke 30. 4:47 a mile. Holy moly.

Really went pretty smooth. Just kept the feet moving and never pushed it too hard, knowing I had the 5k after still. Only three people of about 3000 did both races. I'm in 1000.

Also, had a 6:57 split on Mile 2. Nice little bonus there.
